Easy Turnovers

Everyone,

Here's an easy turnover recipe that I tried out during the holidays.

Ingredients:

A package small of Goya turnover pastry discs.
A package of cream cheese
1 tablespoon of butter
Powdered sugar
One package or can of guava paste (or fruit paste of choice)
1/3 cup of Granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground Cinnamon
Vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions:

• Cut the discs in half
• Mix about 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and the butter into your cream cheese. Mix it well.
• Place about 1 teaspoon of cream cheese and a teaspoon of guava paste into pastry half then fold over and crimp with fork. Continue this process. The package brings 10 pastry discs, but since you cut it in half, you should end up with twenty little pastries.
• Fry the pastries in the vegetable oil
• Combine the cinnamon and granulated sugar together and pour over the fried pastries.
• Dust the pastries with the powdered sugar. Make sure both sides are covered.

Enjoy!
